Anton Brotherhood

Chapter 15 Filthy Principals and Teachers

Seeing Anton's brutality, the other two men were kind of regretful. But Anton did not give them the

chance to retreat. He aimed his fist at the man closer to him, who dodged the punch at once. Then,

Anton flung his leg at the other man, who felt a sharp pain in his groin before he could figure out what

was happening. He cried out and writhed in agony on the ground. The other man tried to escape but

was blocked by the crowd, among whom a burly man pushed him back and said, “You want to run

away? The game is not over yet!”

The man was pushed towards Anton. He was almost frightened to death when he turned his head and

saw Anton standing behind him and glaring at him with murderous eyes. “Help!” the man shouted as he

tried to find an opening in the crowd. However, no one gave way to him.

Without a word, Camille sauntered over to Anton and held his hand, feeling as safe and secure as ever.

He regained his calmness and strode up to the man. “My name is Anton Williams. Remember it!” he

clenched the man’s collar and spoke. The man was left utterly deflated and sank to the ground. Rigidly,

he watched as they walked away hand in hand.

“Ha-ha, what a bold and mighty youth! He is young but he can knock down 4 men. That’s good!” A

corpulent man of about 40 years old, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, got out of the crowd, with

three people flanking him.

Anton stopped and turned his gaze in the direction of the voice and spoke to the man, “You flatter me.

What's up?” The next minute, Camille trotted towards the man, “Vicci! What are you doing here?” The

man smiled and replied, “I was on my way to run some errands when I passed by this place. Thought

I’d stop to check on the business. Unexpectedly, I found such a young hero!”

Camille was glad to hear his praise for Anton. She introduced softly, “Vicci, he is my… my friend!”

The man laughed and said, “Camille, you've got an awesome friend! I saw everything just now. I guess

he's your boyfriend, isn't he?”

“We’re just friends! I'm not talking to you anymore!” Camille’s face was flushed a light shade of pink and

dragged Anton out of the place. Anton left with her after nodding politely to Vicci, who watched them

laughingly until they were out of sight. He told the men behind him. “Look into his background!”

After leaving the disco, Anton strolled the street with Camille. He asked, “Camille, who's that man? It

seems that you know him very well.”

Camille smiled and answered, “He is a friend of my father and brother.”

His instincts told him that the middle-aged man was not an ordinary person although he had never met

him before. This piqued his curiosity about Camille's family. “Camille, what do your father and brother

do?”

Head bowed, Camille looked hesitant and didn't say a word. Anton said immediately, “I was just asking.

Forget about it if you don't want to talk about it.”

She looked up at him, “It's Ok, I'll tell you. Anyway, you'll know about it sooner or later. I'm afraid you'll

overthink it if I don't tell you. My brother is the boss of Youth Gang.”

“What!” Anton halted and exclaimed in shock, “Your brother is the boss of Youth Gang!”

Camille nodded, “Hey, there’s no need to be so surprised!”

How could he not be surprised? As one of the three biggest gangs in J City, Youth Gang was obviously

managed by a powerful boss. He did not expect that such an influential man could be Camille's brother.

Containing his shock, he said, “No wonder you said your brother is an important figure.” After thinking

for a moment, he continued asking, “So Vicci is working for your brother?”

Camille nodded and confirmed, “Yes. When my dad was the boss of Youth Gang, he was already in the

gang. He is one of the doyens in the gang and he is very nice to me!”

“Well, I can see that, “Anton said. Then he thought of something and laughed.

Camille was confused. “What’s so funny?”

Anton stopped laughing and told her, “It seems that rumors are mostly lies. Your sister is rumored to be

the mistress of the boss of Youth Gang in No.1 High School. How ridiculous!”

Camille flushed and said, “My sister was seen being picked up from school by my brother and

somehow the gossip started. She was upset and refused my brother’s offer to fetch her again. But the

rumor is still circulating in the school.”

Anton asked, “Does your brother know about the fight between me and your sister?”

Camille shook her head and said, “I don’t think so. My sister never tells him about things that happen in

school.”

Glad yet a little disappointed at the same time, Anton gave an “Oh”. He wanted a face-off with a strong

gang like Youth Gang. Although he knew that he was no match for them, he was desperately longing

for a chance to fight with the strong.

Anton grew closer to Camille as they walked and chatted together. He did not walk her home until after

4,00 p.m. He refused Camille's invitation to go in because of Dolores and waved to her before he left.

The next morning, Anton went to deal with something with Carl in Joy Billiards Hall. They talked

secretly for hours and did not come out of the premises until after 10,00 a.m.

At the door, Anton said, “Carl, if we succeed this time, we'll get the room for development. But if we fail,

they're not going to let it slide. It'll be difficult for us to clean up the mess.”

Carl nodded and said, “Anton, as long as we get the correct information, it'll be easy for us to take them

down once and for all.”

Anton raised his head towards the sky and sighed, “Our destiny in J City depends on this.” Then, he

walked out of Joy Billiards Hall.

Lawrence, the head teacher, was giving the fourth lesson and lecturing passionately when Anton

entered the classroom. He knocked on the door and was about to go to his seat when Lawrence

stopped him with a snap, “Anton, what were you doing? Why are you late for class?”

Anton apologized, “Sorry, Sir, I had something else to take care of.”

Lawrence pointed at him, “You are incorrigible! Get out of here and don't show up in my class again!”

He had been trying to look for an opportunity to punish Anton since he was humiliated by Anton on the

first day of school.

Anton ignored him, returned to his seat, and said, “You have no right to kick me out of the classroom.”

“You... You get the fuck out of here!” Lawrence shivered with anger when he saw Anton disobeying

him.

“Don't forget that you are a teacher. It's not polite to swear in front of so many students,” said Anton.

“You… How did your parents teach you to be such a scum? They must be as horrible as you are!”

Lawrence lost his mind. With his arrogance, he couldn't stand it when a student was going against

him.”

Anton was irritated by his insulting words about his parents, which he could never forgive. Slowly, he

stood up and pulled out a switch knife, which would change his fate.

Shocked by the knife, Lawrence pointed at him and asked in a shaky voice, “What... What are you

doing?”

Without a word, Anton extended the blade before hurling it in the direction of Lawrence. The only thing

Lawrence saw was a white flash before he fell to the ground with a sharp cry. He glanced up at the

knife with its blade buried deep into the blackboard, and its hilt still vibrating violently.

Lawrence swallowed and looked at Anton, who was staring at him demonically with a slight smile.

“Help! Somebody is trying to kill me!” Lawrence cried and rushed towards the principal's office. Anton

ignored the bewilderment of his classmates and walked out. Before heading out of the door, he

signaled to Jasper, who took the hint and followed him.

Lawrence rushed into the principal's office without knocking. Then, he was frozen to the spot by what

he saw. The principal was sitting on his leather chair with a young female teacher in his arms. He was

caressing her thighs with one hand, and the other was in her collar. Upon the intrusion of Lawrence, he

moved his hands away from the woman and said in slight fury, “Lawrence, knock before you come in!”

The woman flushed and intended to leave, but the principal pulled her back.

Lawrence was used to such a scene, so he came to his senses immediately and reported loudly, “A

student hurled a knife at me. I think he was trying to kill me.”

The principal touched the hand of the woman and rolled his eyes at Lawrence, “You're a cowardly

prick. You even can't handle a student. Maybe I shouldn't employ you anymore.”

Sweat trickled down Lawrence's forehead. He lowered his voice, “You didn't see the way he was

looking at me. It's…”

The principal interjected, “Don't make excuses for your timidity. We'll talk about it later. Now, you may

get out of here.” Then, he placed his hand on the woman's snow-white legs under her skirt.

Lawrence said unwillingly, “You got to help me teach him a lesson today! He humiliated me in front of

the whole class!”

The principal was completely enchanted by the young teacher. Seeing that Lawrence had no intention

to leave, he roared, “Are you through? I said get the fuck out! I'll talk to you later!” Scared by his

temper, Lawrence went out and closed the door.

After Lawrence was gone, the principal pulled the teacher back into his arms and inched closer to kiss

her face. Suddenly, the door was pushed open again by Lawrence, whose face was white as a sheet.

The principal flared up at once and cursed loudly, “Why the fuck are you back? Get the hell out of

here!” But he shut up immediately when he saw a student in uniform entered the room too.

Lawrence turned his sweaty head to the principal, “I didn't mean to come back. It's just… He…”

The principal let go of the woman in his arms and stood up, “Who are you? How bold you are! Don't

you know I'm the principal?”

The student smiled, “I'm Anton Williams. Remember it because one day you'll need it.”

The principal asked, “Was it you who tried to kill this teacher with a knife?

Instead of answering him, Anton strode towards him. The principal trembled and asked, “Stop! What do

you want?”

Anton approached the principal, took a bottle of ink on the table, and fiddled with it in his hands. “I hope

you, and the teachers under you, will not be mess with me in the future. In this way, you can still be the

boss. Otherwise, don't blame me for pulling you down”

The principal exclaimed, “? How dare you talk to me like that? Let me tell you. I'm the leader here.

Nobody can command me!”

Anton said, “Things are different now... If your eyes are good, go to the window and look out.” Then, he Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

smashed the ink bottle against the window.

The principal looked at him and walked slowly to the window. The schoolyard was full of students. Most

of them carried canes in their hands, and at the sight of the principal, they shouted in unison, “Anton

Brotherhood! Anton Brotherhood! Anton…!” The clamor was deafening, and the principal was

dumbfounded. He remained motionless for a while before turning to stare at Anton in shock.

Anton walked out of the room and stopped in the doorway. Without even looking back, he spoke, “From

today onwards, I'm in charge of here!”

The principal stared at the door and said slowly, “He is a devil!” Lawrence and the woman stood still at

the side for a long, long while.

On the playground, Jasper, Bruce, Albert, and Patrick smiled at each other at the front of the crowd.

Jasper told Patrick, “As you can see, follow Anton and we'll be able to lead all the gangs in J City

sooner or later!”

Patrick sighed and whispered, “I am ready to give my life to Anton. But the only thing that makes me

feel guilty is the matter about Vin…”

Jasper patted him on his shoulder, “You're a warrior. That's why we respect you and Anton recruited

you. I'm not good at comforting others, but I know if you start something, you'd better not regret it. And

it's a happy thing to work for someone you trust, isn't it?”
